About Youth Football Academy Program
What We Do
We’re here to give Mumbai’s young footballers a real shot at making it big. Since 2010, our main thing has always been helping players move forward - not just kicking a ball, but getting more match time and building skills that count both on and off the field.
Why Us?
- We’re one of the few AIFF accredited football academy setups in the city. This means our players get to play in elite tournaments, not just local friendlies.
- Our link with Bengaluru FC is solid. It’s not just for show - players get pro-level coaching, chances for trials, and sometimes, a peek into what ISL life is like.
Training That Matters
Year-round, we work with boys (U7 to U17) and have a special girls football development Mumbai program. The focus? Ball mastery, tactical awareness, physical fitness, and a bit of tough love. Jeddy John Almeida and our coaching crew keep it fresh and push for improvement every session.
Where It Leads
Players here always compete - local, state, and national leagues like MFA Youth Premier League and WIFA Youth League. Big tournaments? We travel, we play, we learn. Some of our top kids get scouted for the BFC residential program - that’s the pro pathway Indian football dream right there.
More Than Just Football
We’re a tight group. Players build friendships, learn discipline, and grow as people. It’s never just about football for us.

My Story
Started off in 2010, just a bunch of us kicking up dust on that Colaba ground. Dream was simple - make football real for Mumbai. Sixteen seasons later, we’ve got wins, some hard knocks, and a solid football family. Our new crest with the Sea Link? That’s our connection. Feels good, you know, hitting 3-Star AIFF Academy status. Big shout-out to the whole SSE BFC crew - we’re here because of you.
